Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the overall effects of a tailored dietary education program for older adult patients on hemodialysis (HD) based on self-efficacy theory, dietary knowledge and habits, nutritional intake, and biochemical parameters. A nonequivalent control group pre-test–post-test design was conducted for 8 weeks. The experimental and control groups received a weekly nutritional program and standard nursing care with an additional educational session, respectively. A clinical survey was conducted before and after the intervention. After the intervention, self-efficacy, dietary knowledge, and dietary habits were higher in the experimental group than in the control group. Moreover, carbohydrate, phosphorus, and sodium intake significantly decreased post-intervention in the experimental group but not in the control group. The dietary education program for older HD patients showed positive effects on boosting their self-efficacy, increasing dietary knowledge, improving dietary habits, and decreasing carbohydrate, calcium, phosphorus, and sodium intake.
